The animator who worked on the monk is a wushu practitioner so there's a lot of love in those animations. Daze is a dex-int oriented debuff that increases the amount of stagger a monster takes.
@@off-meta-michael After listening to your talkative tri interview I realise you are a fellow closed beta goer so I shall simply give you a knowing wink while desperately trying to remember what this mechanic involved and drawing a huge blank
The podcast was awesome and I`m super happy that someone pays so much attention to detail on a class. I wish every weapon/class gets this kind of content creator!
I loved your interview with talkative tri, your passion for the upcoming poe2 got me to give you a follow! Looking forward to seeing more poe2 content from you! ❤
thanks for the sub dude. glad you liked it! i'm trying to work on more stuff, been sick though....ugh. anyway, i'm not gonna rush to be first with builds or anything, i still wanna enjoy the game just like anyone else. but will show something if i feel like it, even if its just a build update or maybe some boss kills. havent exactly decided yet. i really wanna enjoy the game and not worry too much about the content creation side of things, but also realize there is some momentum worth building on. anyway, thanks again for watching and subbing! enjoy the game dude!
@ I really embrace the ideas of off meta builds which is why I’m really excited to see what you come up with. I want to try and do something like a merc/ pet build myself, something like a wow beast master hunter! Also I hope you feel better soon!
Very happy you are playing POE 2. Your podcast with Tri and the ideas you already have were awesome and I can't wait to see the content you can come up with. I will be going Monk as well at first, but I'm not sure I'm skilled enough for that class 😁
One thing to note about Minion pact support is that it needs to be 'your minion' and it also needs to be on high enough health for the interaction to work. Also just found your channel and loving your analysis and approach so far. As a poe 1 player with many thousands of hours I could immediately tell poe is your cup of tea, with limitless possibilities for theorycrafting and interactions. Hope you have a great time, keep us updated on your journey!
yes, minion pact has been changed and the minion needs essentially more health than you it seems. this was just revealed by havoc's support gem video over the last few days. i actually like that it has more niche requirements. i wonder if there's a siphon animation every time you use the skill? is there a duration?
One thing to note, they showed a Monk at level 95 doing about 20k-30k DPS to an endgame boss. I know it's a "dev build" but to me this seems like a big win. I got tired of all these ARPGs trying to reach big numbers making it incredibly hard to balance. I'm really glad they're putting a lot of effort in the balance of the game.
they managed to do everything, slower game, with with more gameplay mechanics, looks like spamming wont get you anywehere, and bosses fights are more enjoyable, and can be appretiated
Ahh amazing! PoE 2 just does everything right. Numbers above 100k just doesn't make as much sense to me when they are flashing on the screen. Can't really feel the difference between 100 000 and 999 000 as well as you do with something like 1000 and 9000.
Get well soon Michael! And cool stuff, will check the interview later: im deffo interested in PoE 2, never played the first one myself either though, but it all looks and sounds pretty damn cool. That said, i've been quite busy playing the D2r Reimagined mod, which also freakin rocks! :D Highly recommend, although knowing you, and the way you play with checking items and the shops, we would probably not see you in 2025 anymore, if you end up giving it a go 🤣🤣
@@TrustworthyFella thanks dude. Been coughing for the last 2 hours and probably gonna call in sick for work....ill be staying away from d2 reimagined. There isn't enough time to get into it with my schedule and with poe2 being only 8 days away... I kinda just dont have any motivation to play it. Glad you're having fun with it. I know dbrunski and llama have been playing it, so it must be more popular now.
@@off-meta-michael Yeah i figured as much ^.^ It's a huge mod with much new content, and i saw Dbrunski and Llama gave it a bash too, but i picked up most of what the mod was about from some smaller creator named 'Astropikk', who basically got me motivated to download and try for myself :) It's probably as close to PoE as Diablo could get, without missing the old d2r feel...i was/am quite impressed! The crafting is mental and the items are insane, lol, just my cuppa tea... That said, soon as PoE drops im giving it a go.
for thempest flurry animations - all the skills should have a few variations based on the action speed, so they dont start looking real stupid when you speed them up. they had a panel about skills during the last exilecon where they talked about it.
Can’t wait to see you doing some crazy builds. Seems like you been with us (Poe players) the whole time how ur already building. Side note minion pact im 99% sure will not work but if we get golems back in poe2 might be worth a shot to try to implement it
Because Hand of Chayula is an active attack, it probably has a mana cost instead. There are gems in PoE 1 like Bane cause all linked curses to be cast by Bane and Bane gains additional duration and damage from it. There are also supports like Blasphemy that cause socketed curses to become auras at the cost of mana reservation.
@ oh yes one of my coworkers I think got me sick after being in their workspace but medicated that evening and was ok. Still doing good on the carnivore diet and feeling good 🙌🏽
@ and so thankful for it 😊✅ my shopping time was drastically cut and if I spend time now it’s more or less researching items. Lately I’ve been doing bacon/eggs for all 3 meals and I switch it up with steak/beef a few days
about the animation speed of tempest flurry: the chief animator said in an interview/presentation on exilecon 2023 that they specifically made animations for different speed breakpoints for every skill. the faster the skill the fewer frames they have to animate. and if they only have one animation it looks goofy. i remember they said something like 3 different animations depending on speed. edit: another anecdote: in poe there is a very clear separation between the term increased and more. if you use minion pact and empowered damage at the same time the damage is calculated like this: dmg = skill damage * 1.2 (empowered damage) * 1.2 (minion pact) "more" always means it is calculated multiplicatly, "increased" means it is calculated additively. if those skills would INCREASE damage by 20% each it would look like this: dmg = skill damage * (1 + 0.2 (empowered damage) + 0.2 (minion pact)) hope that helped. edit2: pulverize support has 15% less attack speed for the supported melee skill. so charged staff will be used 15% slower. the empowerment of other skill should not be affected because the support does not affect other skill gems. it is the buff of charged staff that affects the other skill. PoE wording is always very literally and specific.
There's a unique ring that's been revealed that allows the application of two curses. Its called Doedre's Damning. poe2db.tw/us/Uniques Doesn't mention a level or stat requirement either. Not sure if that is intentional or not. Perhaps you get real lucky and find it or can trade for one and make hand of chayula OP.
The attack speed reduction from pulverize won’t apply to charged staff as it’s a casted spell and the attack effect is triggered based on another skill’s attack speed. Similarly multiproj support’s attack/cast speed reduction shouldn’t apply when triggered in a Cast on X metagem setup, bypassing one of its downsides. Currently thinking of using I think it was called Elemental Invocation (multicast buildup on freeze/shock/ignite) with charged staff, perpetual charge, overcharge, lightning pen, innervate. I may shift innervate over to the Invoker’s Elemental Expression on crit skill and have charged staff be purely focused on shock effect. Looooots of experimenting to do, gonna be fun.
Really interested in Acolyte of Chayula, but couldn't find any cool chaos dark bonk skills( thematically would be really cool hit with dark magic, not only with added chaos damage from attacks from darkness). It seems it would be more interesting when they will add Shadow and it would be possible to use knives with it
8:30 I think frost wall does attack damage, when you shatter it with an attack, so it has noting to do with being triggered, you can also just cast it manually. Spell damage wont benefit attacks, so it better to build into attack and elemental damage.
@@Powermongur Oh okay. I see what you're saying. Spell damage likely doesn't benefit the frost wall so that's maybe why it's good with cast on freeze here. You'd need a different setup if you want, say, frost nova to work well in cast on freeze monk build. I still think there will be ways to build into attack dmg while doing decent spell dmg from meta gems.
@@nathanbustamante1525 Frost wall is a spell, but i dont have any info on the shatter explosion part. Either it comes from crit + elemental damage nodes or it uses attack when hit by an attack. You can build a trigger Monk with spell damage nodes, but then you wouldn't take attack damage nodes. We can see in the footage Octavian does good attack damage with his attack, so it not a caster trigger Monk. The meta gem Cast on Freeze doesn't convert any spell damage afaik from reading it. So the idea of adding just a few spell damage nodes to an attack build won't make you a viable caster or from trigger. you can use the effect, but not for the damage.
@@Powermongur Frost wall does flat cold damage so it would seem to me to benefit from elemental damage as well as spell damage. I think if you got elemental damage nodes and ice penetration nodes it would do decent damage for the monk. That makes sense to me. What about you? We'll really just have to see in game how it defines the explosion I guess. But right now it seems like it could benefit from spell dmg, elemental, dmg, and ice penetration and probably a few other passives as well. I think I saw one for increased damage from triggered skills.
Man I'm so excited to get my hands on POE2. I'm probably gonna just spend an hour going through tabs and reading everything when I get my first uncut gem and support gem lol.
@ 9:40 for that case of triggering spells with attacks. In poe1 you have a bunch of nodes (and item affixes) to increase elemental damage. The numbers generally are not as high as pure spell or attack dmg, but you could do an hybrid elemental spell/attach approach with that. I don't know how this will be in poe2 thou.
while i cant remeber seeing "elemental damage" (not saying its not there) ive defintly seen alot of "increased lightning damage" and "increased fire damage" etc. so presumably you could take alot of that and then have some specific attack and spell damage nodes on your weapon swaps.
At the end of the Ziggy D interview Mark said he was interested in making a trigger Monk so there are obviously ways to scale the spell damage without going so far out of your way it is detrimental. I'm for sure going Monk & at least the for the first one it will be Invoker. Now that we know we can not switch ascendancies i'm too scared to give up the spirit as it will all rest on how powerful the mana leech is. There is still a lot to mess with. POE 1 they just replaced a Ranger ascendancy with a new one called the Warden & one of the best nodes it had was - Unbound Avatar which is just an insane damage boost. As crazy as the Monk they showed was they never had Unbound Avatar. I'll probably go I am the Blizzard because chilled ground is so good & freezing enemies is one of the best defenses in the game. But we will have to see once we are playing & have more information. You did great in the Tri interview, people were impressed how you put stuff together having never played POE 1. Love your videos.
When did they say that we are locked into our ascendancy? I've totally missed that part... I wanted to start with Witchhunter and respec into gemling lehionaire
I am planing on playing quarterstaff sorc, will be hoping for two more ascendancy nodes to be cold related and use shock/freeze, also sorc tree starts close to monk area
I'm cautiously optimistic about the wolf form. Hoping for a fast, angular, claw swiping, bleed inducing biting Werewolf form somewhere as a skill gem or ascendancy.
@@谢睿-n9j it enhances quarterstaff skills that are melee, but also says it is a "spell" This is why im not certain those supports would work, but think they might work because of those keywords you mentioned. We'll have to see on dec 6th
In my lightning monk theory craft vid i go over the crackling implicit that provides surge charges that stack lightning dmg on hit and then wear off after a duration. Other than that, we havent seen other implicits
Imo I think they ll let us reserve darkness instead of spirit with that ascendancy instead. It would have been too big of a nerf otherwise and the power you get from the node does not justify the nerf.
Monk most likely is my 2nd play through but to be honest I’ll probably play all 6 characters partially but you know I’m building a Master Chief / Halo character first ❤😂
Daze doesn't exist in PoE 1, so I have no clue what it does in PoE 2. If I were to guess, it is maybe a status effect that makes enemies easier to stun, or it is like a lesser version of a stun. Simmilar to how chill is a lesser version of freeze.
Hey guys, what do you think regarding dark monk instant mana leech + MoM? Big jebait? Cuz nearly all quarterstaff Attacks have convert to lightning/cold damage with like 60-80% but we can leech mana only using physical damage.
While i am playing a witch minion build on my first run, the Monk is bar for my 2nd most excited class to play. most of other classes at the moment don't appeal to me too much but i'll revisit them later as we learn more about game after launch but i love minion/necro builds and monk just looks so fun. So many people are going warrior, soo many people and it baffles me, it looks most boring of all the classes to me, i never been a fan of really slow movements and slow attacks, even in FPS games when i played them back in day i couldn't stand slow powerful weapons, i always prefer faster ones that do less dmg per shot but are more agile and quicker. POE 2 looks like it'll be slow as it is, i don't want to play slowest class in POE 2 on top of that, not sure why so many people love the warrior.
While you feel that, this warrior seems more fun than other iteration from before. Those slam and other fissure skill are very expressive and effective, not just a dull strike. So that's another thing that help it looks rewarding enough to be enjoyable.
@@fourth4q118 I just can't wrap my head around while anyone likes to play slower bigger hit builds other then just, "Big hit better". If i had choice of a weapon that swings 2 times in 2 seconds dealing 100 dmg each or 1 weapon swinging 1 time in 2 seconds doing 200 damage each, i would choose faster weapon every single time, because you do same DPS but you are more agile and quicker. If you can't keep up with your enemy what good does swining slower and hitting bigger do? I in almost every MMO, ARPG, etc that i play always pick more agile characters over slow ones. I'd much rather have far less defenses even if i can move around easier. Watching warrior playthroughs that i seen is just painful to me, i am dying inside watching it, yet most people are loving it and i am like why???? I'd play every other class twice to try a build in each ascendency before i played that incredibly slow warrior. Monk on other hand is a melee but is far far more interesting and fun, simply because it's attacks are quick! And i'd pick a monk any day over warrior. the gameplay just watching the monk crush through it's enemies with those ice attacks is just so much more enjoyable to see then a giant guy moving like a snail struggling to swing this gigantic weapon before the enemy moves out of the way.
i wonder how a giants blood character with staff+ shield looks like. spinning around doing staff skills with a greatshield in the other hand must look awkward af
jonathan said in the recent Tri interview that Unarmed is absolutely in the game, that there is a unique pair of gloves from PoE1 that supports it, but that there is a lot of animation work with skills in order for it to be ready in the game. so, we don't know if that means you'll need the unique to make the build work or if an ascendancy will make it possible. in previous footage there were a bunch of unarmed passives toward the right side of the skill tree. i show them here: th-cam.com/video/Hh0TSQ6-kKI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=f3oMC6qhyUmoNaX0 (go to 34:35) you can notice that it is right across from the quarterstaff constellation.
@@off-meta-michael I think that's still involving the staff. I'm hoping for a completely different style with no staff. Maybe gauntlets at the least for a new ascendency. One can only dream for now 😔
@@schmiggidy in the skill gem window you can see your DPS for each individual skill. But keep in mind that doesn't give the exact accurate picture since combinations and situational uses are a huge part of the gameplay.
No, i specifically avoided WoW back in the day. All my cousins were into it and i thought to myself, "if i play this, ill never stop" Plus, it had a monthly fee which seemed crazy back in the day for a video game.
Maybe Druid IF there was a badass wolf form. If you mean of the six classes available on dec 6th, then maybe some kind of warrior/minion build. Im hoping that when swords, daggers, and axes are implemented we get more combo melee builds. That's what im most interested in so far.
if you never streamed but wanted to do so this might be a good time to try it , i don't know any slow playing lore/build finder , you might have a niche there that people will want to watch. at least record your first full playtrough uncut gameplay and put it up on youtube .
hey thanks for the feedback. i'm going to consider it a great deal. havent decided how to proceed exactly. i guess recording the uncut gameplay wouldn't be hard, it would just require a crap ton of space, but is doable.
I wonder if you will be able to create 2 own builds to go to the End Game like Atlas. True gameplay is different from 1 but when it comes to creating an End game build I think it will be similar to Poe 1 as complex as it seems you will had little freedom to create an End game build. Now many believe that in 2 if you have respec in Tree skill with gold you can correct the mistakes made but in POe an End game character must be compatible between Tree skill-Gems-Ascendancy to be able to have an End Game character. But in the end if you manage to create 2 End game builds I will be the first to congratulate you. So END GAME Atlas not only act 1-6 and show me how to kill some mobs
@@markossrarkos2729its not a must at all, also its been heavily nerfed since it was first shown because group play could spam it and trivialize all the bosses
@@markossrarkos2729 it adds but it isnt a must on every monk build. It only has so many hits now. It disappears way faster. It will be good to toss in a boss but it wont define your build like it did when they first revealed couch co-op
Diablo-like is not an insult. It is a fact. The only sad part here is that they (the current diablo 4 developers) compare themselves to the greats how made diablo 1 and 2. Edit:clarification
yea, saying a game is a diablo-like is not insulting by itself. but the way he put it with the timing of the tweet shows that he's trying to "hand wave" PoE2 away instead of engaging with what was just the greatest looking most impactful ARPG since D2. i think it's obvious that he's trying to underplay what they've done by saying there should be a "diablo-like" category. otherwise he would have said something like, "wow, these guys have taken the diablo-like formula to another level, nice work GGG"
@@off-meta-michael I agree Michael. I feel the same. The passion from ggg is clear in every video they put out. Poe1 was too complated for me. Poe2 seems to strike exactly the correct balance. On a side note thank you for posting your music. I enjoyed listening to it this morning at work. Cheers!
Its not an ailment that has been defined in PoE2 yet. Of course i know what the word daze means in real life. Im talking about applying the ailment in PoE. There arent any other skills that use the word "daze" Its not a comment hunt. Also, i dont stream on any kind of regular basis. I have a job. Finally, YOU COMMENTED complaining about comment hunting. Unreal.
Does daze make the enemy immobile? Does it fill the stun bar or does it have its own ailment gauge? Does it mean that enemies can't use any attacks or only special attacks? Maybe it makes spells not castable but physical attacks can still be used. Finally and most importantly, do you have the answers to these questions?

"more" always means it is calculated multiplicatly, "increased" means it is calculated additively. if those skills would INCREASE damage by 20% each it would look like this:
dmg = skill damage * (1 + 0.2 (empowered damage) + 0.2 (minion pact))
hope that helped.

@@nathanbustamante1525 Frost wall is a spell, but i dont have any info on the shatter explosion part. Either it comes from crit + elemental damage nodes or it uses attack when hit by an attack. You can build a trigger Monk with spell damage nodes, but then you wouldn't take attack damage nodes. We can see in the footage Octavian does good attack damage with his attack, so it not a caster trigger Monk. The meta gem Cast on Freeze doesn't convert any spell damage afaik from reading it. So the idea of adding just a few spell damage nodes to an attack build won't make you a viable caster or from trigger. you can use the effect, but not for the damage.
@@Powermongur Frost wall does flat cold damage so it would seem to me to benefit from elemental damage as well as spell damage. I think if you got elemental damage nodes and ice penetration nodes it would do decent damage for the monk. That makes sense to me. What about you? We'll really just have to see in game how it defines the explosion I guess. But right now it seems like it could benefit from spell dmg, elemental, dmg, and ice penetration and probably a few other passives as well. I think I saw one for increased damage from triggered skills.
Man I'm so excited to get my hands on POE2. I'm probably gonna just spend an hour going through tabs and reading everything when I get my first uncut gem and support gem lol.
@ 9:40 for that case of triggering spells with attacks. In poe1 you have a bunch of nodes (and item affixes) to increase elemental damage. The numbers generally are not as high as pure spell or attack dmg, but you could do an hybrid elemental spell/attach approach with that. I don't know how this will be in poe2 thou.
while i cant remeber seeing "elemental damage" (not saying its not there) ive defintly seen alot of "increased lightning damage" and "increased fire damage" etc. so presumably you could take alot of that and then have some specific attack and spell damage nodes on your weapon swaps.
Elemental damage is on the passive tree. Ive gone over it in my other videos. There's also nodes for triggered spell damage.
At the end of the Ziggy D interview Mark said he was interested in making a trigger Monk so there are obviously ways to scale the spell damage without going so far out of your way it is detrimental. I'm for sure going Monk & at least the for the first one it will be Invoker. Now that we know we can not switch ascendancies i'm too scared to give up the spirit as it will all rest on how powerful the mana leech is. There is still a lot to mess with. POE 1 they just replaced a Ranger ascendancy with a new one called the Warden & one of the best nodes it had was - Unbound Avatar which is just an insane damage boost. As crazy as the Monk they showed was they never had Unbound Avatar.
I'll probably go I am the Blizzard because chilled ground is so good & freezing enemies is one of the best defenses in the game. But we will have to see once we are playing & have more information.
You did great in the Tri interview, people were impressed how you put stuff together having never played POE 1. Love your videos.
When did they say that we are locked into our ascendancy? I've totally missed that part... I wanted to start with Witchhunter and respec into gemling lehionaire
Best intro
I am planing on playing quarterstaff sorc, will be hoping for two more ascendancy nodes to be cold related and use shock/freeze, also sorc tree starts close to monk area
That is the monk of d3 !!!! Wave of light uliana mantra. Loooolll.
Vaulting impact could also be great on warrior. Dex/int requirement should be easier with the free stats you now get from the tree.
I'm dying to see new footage from Druid
I'm cautiously optimistic about the wolf form. Hoping for a fast, angular, claw swiping, bleed inducing biting Werewolf form somewhere as a skill gem or ascendancy.
Lol Turd Ferguson. That was hilarious.
“Duration, Buff, Attack, AoE, Melee”
Charged Staff is a melee skill
@@谢睿-n9j it enhances quarterstaff skills that are melee, but also says it is a "spell"
This is why im not certain those supports would work, but think they might work because of those keywords you mentioned. We'll have to see on dec 6th
@@off-meta-michael I can't stand it anymore; each day feels like an ordeal.🥲
We haven’t really seen many of the staff item-abilities, hey? Do we know if they have any?
In my lightning monk theory craft vid i go over the crackling implicit that provides surge charges that stack lightning dmg on hit and then wear off after a duration.
Other than that, we havent seen other implicits
Imo I think they ll let us reserve darkness instead of spirit with that ascendancy instead. It would have been too big of a nerf otherwise and the power you get from the node does not justify the nerf.
We do indeed have gear
Monk most likely is my 2nd play through but to be honest I’ll probably play all 6 characters partially but you know I’m building a Master Chief / Halo character first ❤😂
Daze doesn't exist in PoE 1, so I have no clue what it does in PoE 2.
If I were to guess, it is maybe a status effect that makes enemies easier to stun, or it is like a lesser version of a stun. Simmilar to how chill is a lesser version of freeze.
Hey guys, what do you think regarding dark monk instant mana leech + MoM? Big jebait? Cuz nearly all quarterstaff Attacks have convert to lightning/cold damage with like 60-80% but we can leech mana only using physical damage.
While i am playing a witch minion build on my first run, the Monk is bar for my 2nd most excited class to play. most of other classes at the moment don't appeal to me too much but i'll revisit them later as we learn more about game after launch but i love minion/necro builds and monk just looks so fun.
So many people are going warrior, soo many people and it baffles me, it looks most boring of all the classes to me, i never been a fan of really slow movements and slow attacks, even in FPS games when i played them back in day i couldn't stand slow powerful weapons, i always prefer faster ones that do less dmg per shot but are more agile and quicker. POE 2 looks like it'll be slow as it is, i don't want to play slowest class in POE 2 on top of that, not sure why so many people love the warrior.
While you feel that, this warrior seems more fun than other iteration from before.
Those slam and other fissure skill are very expressive and effective, not just a dull strike.
So that's another thing that help it looks rewarding enough to be enjoyable.
@@fourth4q118 I just can't wrap my head around while anyone likes to play slower bigger hit builds other then just, "Big hit better". If i had choice of a weapon that swings 2 times in 2 seconds dealing 100 dmg each or 1 weapon swinging 1 time in 2 seconds doing 200 damage each, i would choose faster weapon every single time, because you do same DPS but you are more agile and quicker. If you can't keep up with your enemy what good does swining slower and hitting bigger do? I in almost every MMO, ARPG, etc that i play always pick more agile characters over slow ones. I'd much rather have far less defenses even if i can move around easier. Watching warrior playthroughs that i seen is just painful to me, i am dying inside watching it, yet most people are loving it and i am like why???? I'd play every other class twice to try a build in each ascendency before i played that incredibly slow warrior. Monk on other hand is a melee but is far far more interesting and fun, simply because it's attacks are quick! And i'd pick a monk any day over warrior. the gameplay just watching the monk crush through it's enemies with those ice attacks is just so much more enjoyable to see then a giant guy moving like a snail struggling to swing this gigantic weapon before the enemy moves out of the way.
i wonder how a giants blood character with staff+ shield looks like. spinning around doing staff skills with a greatshield in the other hand must look awkward af
@@RichardMPM giants blood is sword, macez and axe only
@@off-meta-michael damn dude that was quick, cheers
I hope the third ascendency for monk is unarmed fist of fury Monk 👊🏼
jonathan said in the recent Tri interview that Unarmed is absolutely in the game, that there is a unique pair of gloves from PoE1 that supports it, but that there is a lot of animation work with skills in order for it to be ready in the game. so, we don't know if that means you'll need the unique to make the build work or if an ascendancy will make it possible. in previous footage there were a bunch of unarmed passives toward the right side of the skill tree.
i show them here: th-cam.com/video/Hh0TSQ6-kKI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=f3oMC6qhyUmoNaX0 (go to 34:35) you can notice that it is right across from the quarterstaff constellation.
@@off-meta-michael I think that's still involving the staff. I'm hoping for a completely different style with no staff. Maybe gauntlets at the least for a new ascendency. One can only dream for now 😔
I really hope PoE2 has some variation of a primary DPS calculator.
@@schmiggidy in the skill gem window you can see your DPS for each individual skill. But keep in mind that doesn't give the exact accurate picture since combinations and situational uses are a huge part of the gameplay.
I don't think Charged Staff is not a melee Attack skill. Its a spell so pulverize shouldn't work.
Diablo will soon be referred to as PoE lite
Have you ever played World of Warcraft? They rereleased Classic again.
Been playing hardcore and it’s really fun.
No, i specifically avoided WoW back in the day. All my cousins were into it and i thought to myself, "if i play this, ill never stop"
Plus, it had a monthly fee which seemed crazy back in the day for a video game.
@ me 20 years later still playing. 😂
If Monk weren't your starting class, which would it have been?
Maybe Druid IF there was a badass wolf form. If you mean of the six classes available on dec 6th, then maybe some kind of warrior/minion build.
Im hoping that when swords, daggers, and axes are implemented we get more combo melee builds. That's what im most interested in so far.
@@off-meta-michael im excited for sword and shield, Duelist/Gladiator bleed build is an exciting class for the future, also Huntress!
if you never streamed but wanted to do so this might be a good time to try it ,
i don't know any slow playing lore/build finder , you might have a niche there that people will want to watch.
at least record your first full playtrough uncut gameplay and put it up on youtube .
hey thanks for the feedback. i'm going to consider it a great deal. havent decided how to proceed exactly. i guess recording the uncut gameplay wouldn't be hard, it would just require a crap ton of space, but is doable.
Dont think pulverize will work with charged staff as its a spell not an attack. pulverize supports attack skills (i think) cant wait to find out!
@@666gene yea, i said i wasn't sure, but if you look at the keywords they match so it might work
ok....i m going monk
I wonder if you will be able to create 2 own builds to go to the End Game like Atlas. True gameplay is different from 1 but when it comes to creating an End game build I think it will be similar to Poe 1 as complex as it seems you will had little freedom to create an End game build. Now many believe that in 2 if you have respec in Tree skill with gold you can correct the mistakes made but in POe an End game character must be compatible between Tree skill-Gems-Ascendancy to be able to have an End Game character. But in the end if you manage to create 2 End game builds I will be the first to congratulate you. So END GAME Atlas not only act 1-6 and show me how to kill some mobs
i wanted to play monk, but i dont like the bell skill which seems to be a must in every build.
@@markossrarkos2729its not a must at all, also its been heavily nerfed since it was first shown because group play could spam it and trivialize all the bosses
@@off-meta-michael its a huge dmg buff for every skill, i hope im wrong, we will see i quess.
@@markossrarkos2729 it adds but it isnt a must on every monk build. It only has so many hits now. It disappears way faster. It will be good to toss in a boss but it wont define your build like it did when they first revealed couch co-op
Don't you guys have phones???
❤❤❤ ty for this video, like and sub 100%
Lets coin the phrase "PoE-like" (po-like)
What about "exile-like"
I never heard of Daze, guess its new
Diablo-like is not an insult. It is a fact. The only sad part here is that they (the current diablo 4 developers) compare themselves to the greats how made diablo 1 and 2.
Edit:clarification
yea, saying a game is a diablo-like is not insulting by itself. but the way he put it with the timing of the tweet shows that he's trying to "hand wave" PoE2 away instead of engaging with what was just the greatest looking most impactful ARPG since D2. i think it's obvious that he's trying to underplay what they've done by saying there should be a "diablo-like" category. otherwise he would have said something like, "wow, these guys have taken the diablo-like formula to another level, nice work GGG"
@@off-meta-michael I agree Michael. I feel the same. The passion from ggg is clear in every video they put out. Poe1 was too complated for me. Poe2 seems to strike exactly the correct balance.
On a side note thank you for posting your music. I enjoyed listening to it this morning at work. Cheers!
Diablo-like? What's that? Looks Path of Exile-like to me.
@@damasteryu look up rod ferguson's tweet on the day PoE2 released its early access reveal livestream, youll get the joke then
Are here OG Star Wars fans? Do you think what I think?
Monk is it what Barbie should be in d2
Monk going to be the wanna-be melee players. D:
You don’t know what daze is? It’s exactly what it sounds like. Bro I swear I can’t stand comment hunting streamers like you.
Its not an ailment that has been defined in PoE2 yet.
Of course i know what the word daze means in real life. Im talking about applying the ailment in PoE. There arent any other skills that use the word "daze"
Its not a comment hunt. Also, i dont stream on any kind of regular basis. I have a job.
Finally, YOU COMMENTED complaining about comment hunting. Unreal.
Does daze make the enemy immobile? Does it fill the stun bar or does it have its own ailment gauge? Does it mean that enemies can't use any attacks or only special attacks? Maybe it makes spells not castable but physical attacks can still be used.
Finally and most importantly, do you have the answers to these questions?
So Glad I am not only one Calling him "Turd"!
